First, I'd like to congratulate the blessed Shabab on their recent actions enforcing Sharia. An example to the Muslim world and a clear message to the servants of Shaytaan.
Excellent policy. The institution of a complete Sharia system for the first time since the collapse of the Taliban administration is becoming reality. The pleasure of our Lord is imminent.
Al-Shabab are fast instituting the only truly Islamic country in the world. For all the West's bravado, the recent meeting proved without a shadow of a doubt that all the US has up it's sleeve is empty threats.
Strategically they have nothing to gain entering Somalia. One of the primary platforms which catapulted Obama to success was his relative "peaceful" strategy in comparison to McCain and his predecessor, Bush. Public sentiment will be against him if he enters another war akin to the Jihad currently taking place in sanctified Khorasan.
The terrain of Somalia is similar enough to Afghanistan's that drone attacks will be of no real use (I recall an official document from Langley admitting this, from the crusaders themselves), especially since so much of Somalia has been undisturbed for as long as can be remembered, providing the noble Mujahideen with plenty of space to carry out their strategies.
It's indisputable that the US will not invade themselves, but the possibility of sending their vassal state in the Horn, Ethiopia while not high, is still an option for them, although recent events indicate it will not happen. Ethiopia lost 37,000 troops in their last brief foray into the exalted land of Somaal, against a more divided and in most aspects notably weaker ICU, an attack against Al-Shabab would be folly, particularly with dissent growing against the Woyane government.
The Al-Shabab coffers, contrary to popular belief and skewed media reports are not, and will not come close to running dry, as long as America still purchases oil from the Khaleej and weapons are available from our allies in the Horn of Africa, Eritrea.
Now, having proven the capability for advanced warfare is there, we must prove manpower is too. The youth of Somalia are no strangers to battle, they are not fearful of the gun and they are not fearful of being martyred. As the US is continually embarrassed by our brothers in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the need for soldiers there diminishes and as Somalia increases in importance, the need for Mujahideen there increases. Brothers from every corner of the Muslim world are willing to fight in Somalia, making the numbers available essentially infinite.
Take into account the obvious weakness of the Transitional Federal Government and it's obvious to the objective reader that it's only a matter of time until Somalia is under Shabab's control, making the our ideal of a re-established Caliphate, not a dream, but a reality.
